Thanks for posting this, I wasn't aware of it. Always happy to hear more Pursglove. Edit to add: I just purchased a copy after an initial stream

Very special Great voice, troubled soul

Playing it now. I've only seen Lovens play live once, with the Schlippenbach Trio, and it was a completely fascinating experience

I might just get my copy out for the evening here, thanks for the reminder

I'd like to seebher.bFound the couple of albums I've heard pretty interesting

So am I

Well that edition has never sold through Discogs where 24 people have it in their collection but over 650 want it. Notes on the entry suggest a copy sold elsewhere for $9k earlier this year. Top price paid for the standard issue is £500. The power of bespoke art covers!

Yeah, 2x 40 minute CDs but then people just complain about not getting enough music rather than listening to what they got. Kind of glad I went the LP route, @Pim's reports of warps etc notwithstanding

I've only purchased through Bandcamp. A couple of ideas come to mind that might be worth investigating http://www.jazzhouserecords.co.uk/ https://www.prestomusic.com/ https://propermusic.com/

Worth it for the cover alone!

I miss Mr Crompton's presence here, if it is the same Jeff Crompton

Literally just ordered a copy in the last 5 minutes having streamed it several times. Shame about the production issues but that's vinyl life 😃

There's a download option

ordered yesterday, arrived today. Great service from Honest Jon's as always

Jason Adasiewicsz - Roy's World [Corbett v Dempsey, 2023] Great to have a new album from JA, it's been too long. Although this was actually recorded in 2017 so isn't new work. I'd love to hear some new music from him, he played brilliantly with Brotzmann earlier this year. This is typical of the music played by his Chicago generation, unsurprisingly given the band includes Abrams and Berman (with Hamid Drake representing the older generation). Great writing and playing. Saxophonist Jonathan Doyle is the only new name to me

Made a big impact on release too. The SHJ Blue Series are an impressive batch.

Thanks, not ideal as you say. The completest in me would demand that if I bought one I would have to buy all three 🙃 Maybe because the Lateef was RSD so has to have that premium priced in to make it attractive on that day (cynicism alert)

as I said, it's been a while but this was my favourite, although the one posted above by kh1958 is good too

I've never got my head around that series of comps. Mind you, I haven't tried that hard. Are there complete albums represented or a number of albums chopped across the reissues? They always look tempting and you see them about quite a bit I think

I haven't listened to Cantuaria for a while. I like his albums a lot

Meant nothing to me so just read a little about it, intrigued. I see Oto sell it and their bookshelves normally intimidate me with their intellectualism...

Jim, sorry to read of all the hassle you're having. And you definitely don't owe anyone an apology, at all. A little downtime helps us all appreciate what you provide for us all the more.

Thanks TTK, I do definitely rate that so look into the release further. The only copies for sale in Europe that I could see on a quick initial look were all a Fresh Sounds reissue

Is this as good as the title suggests?

😃
